Question
  1. Consumption Ratios; Activity Rates

    Saludable Company produces two types of get-well cards: scented and regular. Drivers for the four activities are as follows:

      Scented Cards Regular Cards
    Inspection hours 1,080   720  
    Setup hours 420   180  
    Machine hours 960   2,880  
    Number of moves 2,880   720  

    The following activity data has been collected:

    Inspecting products $45,000
    Setting up equipment 28,500
    Machining 30,720
    Moving materials 16,200

    Required:

    1.  Calculate the consumption ratios for the four drivers (round to two decimal places).

      Scented Cards Regular Cards
    Inspection hours    
    Setup hours    
    Machine hours    
    Number of moves    

    2.  Which of the following statements indicate there is product diversity?

     

    Explain the significance of product diversity for decision making if the company chooses to use machine hours to assign all overhead.

    If machine hours are used as the only driver,  cards would receive 25% of the overhead, and   cards would receive 75% of the overhead. Yet, the   cards consume well over 60% of the non-machine related overhead. Thus, the Scented cards are  , and the Regular cards are  . This inaccuracy can adversely affect many decisions, including pricing, keep or drop, and cost-volume-profit.

    3.  Calculate the activity rates that would be used to assign costs to each product (round to two decimal places).

    Rates:  
    Inspecting products $ per inspection hour
    Setting up equipment $ per setup hour
    Machining $ per machine hour
    Moving materials $ per move

    4.  Suppose that the activity rate for inspecting products is $20 per inspection hour. How many hours of inspection are expected for the coming year?
     inspection hours
